A Fox of Fire

Year poem was written: 2014

A scavenger of the wilds burns below the stars,
radiant to the sight.
Turning the damped autumn leaves into ember and ash,
allowing them to act as his past trail.

He runs across the forest roots throughout the night,
filling the breeze with the smell of smoke.
The eyes ablaze with the flames of passion,
reflecting a soul of freedom.

The fur dances like an untamed beast of power,
shown like a nocturnal light.
This elegant creature of bold fury and pure beauty is,
a fox of fire.
